Kuwait Airways Washington Flights
The flights will be available three times per week, utilizing Airbus A330-800neo aircraft.
The KWI-IAD route has been devoid of nonstop flights since United Airlines ceased operations in January 2016 after nearly a decade of service.
Kuwait Airways’ forthcoming route will cover a significant distance of 6,558 miles (5,699 nautical miles), making it the longest in the airline’s network.
This service will also set a remarkable record as the world’s longest route to be operated by an A330-800neo aircraft, reports Aviation24.be.

The company continues to march forward with its strategic plans and systemic enhancements.”

The company successfully initiated operations on 10 fresh routes, encompassing cities like Madrid, Manchester, Mykonos, Sarajevo, Izmir, Salalah, Hyderabad, Kathmandu, Kuala Lumpur, and Casablanca.
